Hello everyone!
So, I've had this big project I've been working on for a long time, which I thought to finish before GT5 comes out, but I'm unable to do it myself due mostly to my lack of (driving) skills, so I need help. And this forum seemed to be the perfect place to ask.
EDIT
And now with the help from Famine the list is complete, with Famine's Trial Mountain test run times added. See attachment. Thanks again Famine!
Since there was a difference in the skill of my and Famine's b-spec drivers, the times Famine proved have been adjusted for this and marked in grey. For other color codes I've used see bottom of the list.
The list has been made with a quite old version of MS Excel so hopefully it should be compatible with most excel versions and readers. However, let me know if you have problems with the file and I'll see what I can do.
/EDIT
EDIT2 Here is the list as an image file for those unable to open excel files
ABOUT THE PROJECT
I’ve always wondered, among certain groups, which car is the fastest. in this game. For example, which R34 GT-R is the fastest, or which car is the best for certain events. So to get answers I started testing the cars. In order to get consistent results, I used the arcade mode with the b-spec driver. I let the b-spec driver to complete a number of laps and then I wrote down the best lap times.
I chose the Tsukuba circuit because of its short length and it being popular time attack track in real life. First I tested all the cars that interested me. But when that was finished, I continued to do all the cars available in arcade mode. After that was done, I thought I should have done that with the Nürburgring instead, that being my favourite track. But after a little hesitation I started doing the Ring too…
Then when that was done, I thought, what the hell, I’ll do the Motegi speedway too, because of its different nature and very short lap times. After the Ring, that shouldn’t take that long time... But when that was done, I thought there was too much emphasis for straight line speed in my list, so I thought to balance it out with the Monaco street circuit (Côte d’ Azur).
Then I realized there was quite a gap between two slow (Monaco & Tsukuba) and two fast (The Ring & Motegi speedway) track. So I thought to add a fifth track having average speeds in the middle of the four other tracks. I wanted all the tracks to be real world tracks and since I already had two Japanese tracks I wanted the last track to be non Japanese. This limited the choices to Laguna Seca and Infineon, of which I choose Laguna Seca because of its shorter lap times and the fact b-spec driver seems to drive off of track at least once every lap with fast cars in Infineon.
TL;DR:
I’ve been testing cars with b-spec in arcade mode over various tracks to see which is the fastest.
During all this time I had completed the simulation mode as much as I can and bought used cars to get as much cars as possible. And this is where the need for help comes in.
ABOUT THE NEED FOR HELP
There are still four cars I am unable to get due to lack of skills and/or time. Which are:
2001 Skyline GT-R Gran Turismo Version (Prize car for all golds in A license)
1978 Dome Zero (Prize car for all golds in IA license)
1915 Ford Model T (Prize car for all golds in S license)
1989 Sauber C9 (Prize car for Formula GT World)
If someone(s) who have these cars could fill in the blanks I could complete the list with all the cars in the game.
ABOUT THE REWARD
What else, the complete list of all the cars in the game for everyone in here once the list is complete!!!
If you are interested in helping I will give the details how I did the testing so that you can provide comparable lap times.
